5 Chapter 1 Installing NAT Proxy Server 5 Chapter 1 Installing NAT Proxy Server Because of the lack of real IP addresses, many Internet facilities including Blaze or Savanna Series IP PBX Communication Systems must be installed behind NAT or firewall. When IP PBX system travels through virtual or floating IP, sometimes the voice packets cannot traverse NAT or firewall successfully and cause the problem of one-way or failed phone communication. This chapter guides you through the preparation, installation and basic configuration of DSG NAT Proxy.

6 6 Chapter 1 Installing NAT Proxy Server Before You Start DSG NAT Proxy is an electronic product. Please follow the recommendations below when you install or operate your system in order to avoid any injury and damage. Safety Recommendations Always use ESD-preventive tools when you plug the power cord. Do not disassemble or remove chassis cover of the system. If there is any problem of your system, please contact our service representatives. Environmental Prerequisites DSG NAT Proxy needs to be installed in clean, dry, adequately ventilated areas. The system can be placed in a control room or on a rack. Please remain the control room in a suitable temperature and adequately ventilated environment.

Connecting to Power Cord Plug one end of the power cord to the power connector on the rear panel of NAT Proxy. Plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet. 2. Connecting to LAN You need to connect NAT Proxy to your existing Ethernet network. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Network RJ45 port on NAT Proxy to any 10/100BaseT RJ45 port on a switching hub.

7 Chapter 1 Installing NAT Proxy Server 7 3. Preparing a Computer Prepare a computer with web browser and be sure it is on the same subnet as of NAT Proxy. Change the computer s IP settings if necessary. The suggested web browser is Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later. The default values of NAT Proxy are as follows: Default IP Address: :88 (The service port is 88) Default Gateway: Default Subnet Mask: Login NAT Proxy Launch the web browser. On the address bar, type in the NAT Proxy s default IP address :88 to access the system. Then click on the Login icon. After you logged in, please input the default password 1234, you may change the password later.

8 8 Chapter 1 Installing NAT Proxy Server The System Information page will be displayed on the screen as follows. 5. Basic IP Settings Go to Main Menu>System Information. Enter the IP address, Gateway IP, and Subnet Mask that are assigned to your NAT Proxy. You can set the other items later.

9 Chapter 1 Installing NAT Proxy Server 9 You may change your computer IP setting to the original values after you complete the setup. You will need to enter the new IP address to connect to the NAT Proxy next time. Connecting NAT Proxy via Console Port When you forget the IP address of the NAT Proxy, you can connect a computer to the console port of the NAT Proxy in order to check the current IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask. 1. Connect one end of the RS232 transmission line to the computer s COM port and the other end to the Console port of NAT Proxy. 2. Open the Hyper Terminal program. Enter the connection name and set the baud rate to 9600 bps. 3. Turn off the power of NAT Proxy. Wait for a while and then turn on the power again.

(The default password is 1234.) 3. Click on System Information, you may modify the basic IP settings of NAT Proxy. 4. Input the IP address, gateway IP and subnet mask assigned to NAT Proxy. It is recommended that you assign a real IP address to NAT Proxy allowing PBX Server and extensions to get connected easily. 5. Alternatively, you could locate NAT Proxy on DMZ of a firewall. Select the DMZ option and input the real external IP address associated with NAT router. In this case, in the above Step 4, you could assign pseudo IP address to NAT Proxy. Note: You could also find the current software version and the MAC address of NAT Proxy. To upgrade, please go to Main Menu>Upload Packs. InterServer Page Click on InterServer Page, you can create an InterServer list associated with the NAT Proxy.

13 Chapter 2 Configuring NAT Proxy 13 Status icon: The connection status between NAT Proxy and InterServer will be displayed in front of the entry. If there is sign, it means the connection is available. If no, the connection is failed or not established. ID: Please input the ID of the dedicated InterServer. The ID is a unique ID assigned to each InterServer and needs to conform to the one set on InterServer. For more details, please refer to InterPBX Administration Installation and Configuration Guide: Multi-Server Management>Server Information. You could edit up to 20 PBX Servers. Server IP or MAC: Input the REAL IP address of the NAT router where the InterServer is located. If a dynamic Internet connection is adopted, such as PPPoE, and a fixed IP address for WAN connection is not applicable, you may skip this item. Instead, please input the MAC address of the InterServer as described below. As long as listed on the InterServer Page, the InterServer and its associated off-premises extensions and voice gateways will not need to open specific service ports when they are deployed behind NAT. DSG NAT Proxy will help voice packets traverse NAT automatically. Force RTP Relay If NAT traverse does not work or you find it take time to complete, you may force the connection using RTP Relay. Click on Force RTP Relay, select the InterServer to apply. RTP Relay will speed up the establishment of connection but it might consume extra bandwidth.
